About The Signet Society
Signet Life
The Signet is open from 9am to 11pm Monday through Friday, and from noon to 11pm on Saturday and Sunday. It is closed on holidays observed by the University, during breaks, and during the summer. Members can read, relax, play the piano, converse, etc.
Signet Lunches
Starting September 2, 2009, the lunch schedule will change from 5 to 3 days a week, due to funding. Lunch is served during the academic year at 1pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and no reservation is required. Members and alumni are encouraged to come anytime, with or without guests. Lunch is $9 per person.
Friday Teas
The Undergraduates host themed teas during the academic year on Fridays from 5pm to 7pm in the Library. The officers extend a warm invitation to the Harvard community to join them.
Annual Dinner
The Annual Dinner is April 24, 2010, celebrating the Signet's 140th Anniversary. All members and alumni are welcome to attend.
Mousiken Poiei Kai Ergazou / "Create Art and Practice It"
"Mousiken" refers to any activity over which the Muses preside. "Poiei" means literally "make" and here refers perhaps to the imaginative idea, the inspiration, while "Ergazou" urges us to do the work necessary to realize it.
